Discovery Exercises and Tasks
Each week, you will complete two or three Discovery Exercises and Tasks("Things"), as listed below. Links to the details for each week's "Things" are added as the course progresses, typically on Sunday for the upcoming week. Remember, you are in charge of your learning journey. This course is about exposure, exploration and experimentation, not about "doing it right." Your co-participants and K12L2 coaches are here to support and encourage you!
Due to the topic/content groupings, some weeks will be more challenging/time intensive than others. The average will be 3-4 hours per week, but every task will vary, and different tasks will vary widely for different users.
Stretch Tasks
Along the way, you will also encounter a few Stretch activities that are designed to enrich and extend your learning. Everyone is encouraged to try at least some of them, but they are not required. If you are already comfortable with a particular tool or concept, you should definitely complete the Stretch activity!
¤ NOTE: Course activities/resources are subject to perpetual revision, as technology is always changing. However, no "Thing" will ever be revised in medias res (as we are completing it) unless there is a true resource emergency!
